Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said the missile was launched from the west coast of North Korea and traveled over Japanese airspace from 7:04 a.m. to 7:06 a.m., and landed about 2,000 km (1,243 mile) east of the Erimo peninsula. No falling object was found and no ships or airplanes were affected, he said.

In a release provided by the U.S. Department of Defense, the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff said that upon the missile's launch, South Korea fired a missile of its own to the East Sea. They added that the South Korean military is maintaining full readiness and tracking North Korean movements.

Shortly after the launch, South Korean president Moon Jae-in called an urgent national security council meeting, according to that country's Yonhap news agency.

The launch is the 14th missile test conducted by North Korea in 2017. On September 3, North Korea said it tested a hydrogen bomb, leading to sanctions being passed against the country by the United Nations Security Council on Tuesday.

Yes, and my neighbor throws dog poo in my other neighbors yard. Doesn't mean they should blow up the street. KJU was doing this before Trump. Cheeto would love another war. He seemed to enjoy the hurricanes quite a bit.

But before Trump I don't believe it was ever this often firing off a missile.

North Korea has struck again in its nuclear-fueled war of words with the U.S., this time warning Washington that its latest military developments give supreme leader Kim Jong Un unprecedented clout amid the current crisis.

North Korea's state-run media ran a series of articles Friday threatening to meet any further U.S. military expansion in the region with an opposing show of force. After North Korea successfully tested its first two intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) in July and conducted its first hydrogen bomb test earlier this month, it launched a second intermediate-range ballistic missile over Japan on Friday. As President Donald Trump and allies continue to demand the total denuclearization of North Korea, Pyongyang struck back against talk of bringing back U.S. tactical nukes to the Korean Peninsula.

Yes, and my neighbor throws dog poo in my other neighbors yard. Doesn't mean they should blow up the street. KJU was doing this before Trump. Cheeto would love another war. He seemed to enjoy the hurricanes quite a bit.

Trump to UN: 'Rocket Man is on a suicide mission'

United Nations (CNN)President Donald Trump delivered Tuesday a doomsday warning to North Korea and mocked its young leader, a pugnacious escalation in rhetoric in a wide-ranging debut address to the United Nations, the world's foremost diplomatic body.

In blunt terms, Trump warned the US would "totally destroy North Korea" if forced to defend itself or its allies. He said while the US has "great strength and patience," its options could soon run out.

Directly putting the country's leader on notice, Trump suggested Kim Jong Un could not survive an American attack.

UNITED NATIONS, Sept 19 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump escalated his standoff with North Korea over its nuclear challenge on Tuesday, threatening to "totally destroy" the country of 26 million people and mocking its leader, Kim Jong Un, as a "rocket man."

In a hard-edged speech to the United Nations General Assembly, Trump offered a grim portrait of a world in peril, adopted a more confrontational approach to solving global challenges from Iran to Venezuela, and gave an unabashed defense of U.S. sovereignty.

"The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea," Trump told the 193-member world body, sticking closely to a script.

The biggest nut job is Trump if he uses military action. NK isn't going to do shit. What can they do? It's knee-jerk reactions from fools who fall into this notion that NK is prepared to act that scares me most. That there are a whole bunch of foolish Americans that fall for this shit over and over and over again. Proven wrong over and over and over and over again, yet still, suckers time after time falling for this lunacy and us failing. And killing innocent people. Including our own men and women in the military.

What can they do? This morning I would have said nothing. But I've since learned that NK has been very busy and they are nuclear capable. SK and Japan still are in their path even if their missles can't truly reach the continental US they can reach Alaska. Personally I like Alaska, it's far away but I like knowing it's there with it's polar bears and stuff.

What could NK possibly gain from an attack? That's what people need to be thinking. People tend not to be analytical but emotional. Any attack from NK would be game over for NK. They know that, we know that, everyone knows that. But our governments play this silly dance of ignorant warmongering.
